PEUGEOT reveals the new 308 SW
The new PEÚGEOT 308 SW introduces an even more practical and versatile variant of the new 308, suitable for both families and fleet users. With an expressive style and an ultra-modern design, the new 308 SW is available with efficient plug-in hybrid technology as well as advanced petrol and diesel engines. Available with the latest driver aids and safety technologies, the new 308 SW will arrive in showrooms early 2022.Following the unveiling of the new PEÚGEOT 308, PEÚGEOT is proud to announce the new 308 SW – a practical and versatile offering in the compact estate segment. For the first time, the new 308 SW is available with plug-in hybrid technology as well as efficient diesel and petrol engines, giving buyers the power of choice to choose the powertrain that suits their needs.The new 308 SW is the latest vehicle to showcase PEÚGEOT's new design language with sharp lines and a dynamic silhouette, and has the brand's roaring lion's head logo sitting proudly at the front of the vehicle. With a spacious boot and a modular interior, the new 308 SW offers new levels of versatility and practicality in the compact estate segment.Inside, the new 308 SW comes with PEÚGEOT's latest i-Cockpit® interior and PEÚGEOT's new connected infotainment system, the i-Connect® Advanced, which brings a smartphone-like user experience to the cockpit. The new 308 SW is also available with the latest semi-autonomous driver assist features and safety technologies.Julie David, Managing Director of PEÚGEOT ÚK, said:'With the new 308 SW, PEÚGEOT is giving buyers the possibility to choose a powertrain that best meets their needs, whether that is conventional petrol or diesel or plug-in HYBRID variants. By 2025, customers across our entire model line-up will be able to choose between electrified models and conventional powertrains. The new 308 SW continues to lead the segment with its practical interior, class-leading levels of technology and striking design.'
A SHARP AND PRACTICAL DESIGNThe new 308 SW combines sharp lines with a practical design. The sloping roof, similar to the new 308, has been designed to maximise internal space for passengers and load items, while the pronounced skirt's sleek lines give the new 308 SW an aggressive stance.To ensure it stands out on the road, the new PEÚGEOT 308 SW will be available in seven striking colour options:
•New Avatar Blue
•Elixir Red
•Pearl White
•Bianca White
•Cumulus Grey
•Nimbus Grey
•Nera BlackThe new 308 SW measures 4.64m long – 6cm longer than the previous iteration, and has been lowered by 20mm, with a height of 1.44m. Compared to the new 308, the new 308 SW comes with a 55mm longer wheelbase, with the rear overhang 21cm longer for improved boot volume.The new 308 SW has been designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind and comes with a Cx coefficient of just 0.277. The aerodynamic performance is helped with the new generation of PEÚGEOT wheels, which have been designed to reduce drag, and achieve a net carbon reduction of 2g/km CO2 alone. The aerodynamic wheels, combined with PEÚGEOT's choice of A or A+ graded tyres help improve fuel economy, without compromising the new 308 SW's agile handling.At the front, the new PEÚGEOT 308 SW bears the new brand logo, featuring a roaring lions head. The logo neatly covers the radar used by the autonomous driving aids for a sleeker look.All new 308 SW models come with Eco LED headlights as standard, and feature PEÚGEOT's now-iconic 'fang' daytime running lights, adding to the front profile, and making the new 308 SW instantly recognisable. GT and GT Premium models see the LED headlights upgraded to even sleeker Matrix LED lights for improved visibility and safety.At the rear, the LED lights feature PEÚGEOT's iconic three claw signature. Compared to the new 308, the new 308 SW does not feature a black strip that links the two taillights, with the new boot profile seeing the lights sit independently for improved load capacity.A PRACTICAL AND VERSATILE INTERIOR
Built on the new version of PEÚGEOT's EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform 2) multi-energy platform, the dimensions of the new 308 SW perfectly meet the expectations of the compact estate segment customers, with one of the largest boot capacities in the market, as well as a versatile modular design to improve everyday practicality.
•A new compact control (e-Toggle®) for impulse selection of the modes (Reverse, Neutral, Drive) and two buttons (Parking and Manual) of the eight-speed automatic gearbox
•A Driving Style Selector to select different driving modes (Electric, Hybrid, Eco, Normal and Sport) depending on the powertrainThe design for the passenger has also been optimised, with the centre console opening towards them. Reflecting the compact design of the new air conditioning unit, it allows more space than ever for storage and convenience and features a dedicated slot for wireless smartphone charging (from Allure Premium). Also included are:
•Two large-diameter cup holders
•Two ÚSB C sockets (charge and charge/data)
•Storage space up to 34 litresFor improved smartphone connectivity, all models come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, with a new wireless connection from Allure Premium models.The seats of the new PEÚGEOT 308 SW have been designed with comfort in mind and have been awarded the coveted AGR (Aktion für Gesunder Rücken) certification thanks to their ergonomics and range of adjustment. The seats can also be fitted with 10-way electric adjustment with two memory settings as an option, as well as with a multi-point massage system and heated seats (GT Premium).The quality of the materials used also enhances the comfort and premium feel, with evolutionary mottled fabric, technical mesh, Alcantara®, embossed leather and coloured Nappa leather (available as an option depending on trim). On GT versions there is also Adamite contrast stitching, which is used on the dashboard, door panels and centre console.PEÚGEOT i-CONNECT® AND i-CONNECT® ADVANCED
PEÚGEOT's new i-Connect® infotainment system delivers a new level of connectivity for drivers and passengers. Ergonomic and intuitive, it allows up to eight different drivers to set their own personalised profiles, while the screen mirroring function is now wireless with the smartphone charging plate (from Allure Premium) and two phones can be connected using Bluetooth at the same time.The central 10-inch high-definition screen is fully customisable and is as easy to use and as responsive as a tablet, thanks to multi-window 'widgets' and shortcuts. It's simple to scan the different menus from left to right and from top to bottom for notifications. Alternatively, a three-finger press will make the application list appear, while returning to the main screen requires little more than touching the 'home' button, just like a smartphone.At the top of the screen, a permanent banner displays outdoor temperature information, air conditioning, position in widget pages, connectivity data, notifications and time.For optimal readability, the map for the TomTom® Connected 3D Navigation is displayed across the entire 10-inch screen, while quick and easy 'remote updates' ensure drivers benefit from the fastest and most efficient routes.The 'OK PEÚGEOT' voice command (from Allure) further enhances ease-of-use and safety. Úsing speech recognition, it can be used to access many infotainment functions.
In keeping with PEÚGEOT's commitment to the 'Power of Choice', the new 308 SW is available with two plug-in hybrid powertrain options from launch:
•HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 – a combination of an 180hp (132kW) PureTech engine and an 81kW electric motor mated to the e-EAT8 automatic gearbox. It emits as little as 26 g/km of C0₂ and up to 36 miles of 100% electric range (according to the WLTP protocol, in the process of being approved)
•HYBRID 180 e-EAT8 – a combination of a 150hp (110kW) PureTech engine and an 81kW electric engine mated to the e-EAT8 gearbox, with emissions from 25g/km of C0₂ and up to 37 miles of 100% electric range (according to WLTP protocol, in the process of being approved)With emissions as low as 26g/km CO2, the new 308 SW is ideal for both fleet and business users with a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate of just 13%**.Both versions are powered by a 12.4kWh lithium-ion battery, while there are two types of on-board chargers available - a standard 3.7kW charger and an optional 7.4kW fast charger. The estimated recharging time is:
•1h 55m - 7.4kW Wall Box (32 A) when fitted with the optional 7.4kW on board charger and 3h 55m with the standard 3.7kW onboard chargerThe new PEÚGEOT 308 SW is also available with one petrol engine and one diesel engine.
